----------------Ryder(g) POV

As Carter and I park the car, he turns to face me.

"Are you sure about this?" He asks

"Yessirrie. Now let's go" I say opening the at door and stepping out. Carter lets out a groan and follows me into the salon. As I walk in , a young lady maybe around her early 20s, walks over to us. Her hair is a platinum blonde and along her bangs you could tell that she put blue highlights but the faded into a nice green color.

"Hi my name is Nicole, how can I help you?"

"Hi, my friend here would look into dying her hair. Can we get a book please" Carter says

"Sure right this way" Nicole said leading us to the back. She walks us over to a rack filled with books for hair.

"Would you like an exotic color , for example , blue. Or would you like a natural color such as black?" Nicole asked looking through the book choices.

"Exotic please" I said

"Here you go. Take your time,,I'll be with you as soon as you make a choice" Nicole said handing me the book with hair color choices and stands up from the chair and pats the seat for me to sit down. I give her a genuine smile and she returns it and walks through a curtain leading to another room. I notice carters eyes following her.

"So what are you planing to get" carter asks looking back at me and to the book.

"I don't know yet. I like auqua. It's nice" I said studying the shades of green and blue and the combo of both. I turn the page of the book to find a whole different collage of colors.

"That ones nice, You're doing it" carter says pointing to a specific shade, grabbing the stick of paper with the colored hair that carter chose and rips  the book out of my hands and putting it back to where it was before.

"Nicole!" Carter yells, grabbing me by my shoulders and dragging me towards the platinum blonde beauty.

"Hey, have you decided yet?" Nicole asks

"Yea. She wants this one" carter said pointing to the paper stick.

"Ooo excellent choice. Right this way" Nicole leads us to a chair.

(A/N: I've never dyed my hair but my best friend has and what I write here is what she told me what they did to her so sorry if this hasn't happened to you)

"First I'll need to wash you hair, bleach it. Re-wash it and start applying the dye. I'll be right back let me go get what I need" Nicole said returning to the room that is blocked out by the curtains. She returns moments later with the stuff and walks me over to and seat with a sink behind it. She wets my hair and starts applying coconut shampoo and untangles my wavy pastel purple hair. She re-applies the shampoo, rinses my hair and starts applying a coconut conditioner. She wets my hair one last time before squeezing the extra water out and wraps it in a new warm towel. She guides me to the seat in front of a mirror and starts bleaching my hair.

*1 hour later*

Once she's done I take a look at my hair , it's was completely blonde as well as the roots. She starts trimming my tips. We let it dry for awhile and she starts mixing up my choice of color. She takes tinfoil and puts it under a wad of my hair and starts applying the dye and closes the tinfoil wrapping so it's around my hair.

"Hey, I'll be back. Want anything from Starbucks ?" Carter asks standing up.

"Sure. Venti Vanilla Chai and a heated chocolate croissant. Here you go." I said handing him a 10 dollar bill.

"No , I'll pay, don't worry about it. " he said passing my money back. I protested but took it back knowing that he wouldn't take it. Carter walks out the door. Nicole chuckles.

"Your boyfriend is so generous and cute" she smiles

"Oh, no , he isn't my boyfriend" I said. Chuckling myself.

"Oh" Nicole says
"Does he have a girlfriend by any chance?" She adds

"No, carter is 100 percent single" I said smiling as she sits down on the chair next to me that carter was sitting on.

"Oh" Nicole says, putting her head down , trying to fight off the smile that was trying to take over. I whip of my phone, clicking on contacts and pass it to her.

"You seem really nice , maybe we can hang out together. " I offered. Nicole took my phone typing in her information. She hands it back.

"Sounds great" she said. After she said that , the timer she put on went off and she stands up and walks back over to me. She starts opens the foil one by one until it's all off. She leads me to the sink and rinses my hair off and re-applies shampoo and conditioner. She rinses my hair and wraps it in a towel like before. She walks me over to the seat in front of the mirror and grabs a blow dryer. As we're half way done , carter walks in with our food.

"Here you go" he said handing me my drink and croissant. I say a thank you and immediately dig in. By the time I'm done with my croissant and half of my drink, Nicole is done.

"Do you want you hair flat ironed or curled" she ask holding up the 2 cosmetic instruments.

"Curled please" she walks over to me after plugging in the curling iron and grabbing a heat protective glove. When she's done she walks me over to the full length mirror behind us and I admire my waist length hair.

"Its gorgeous. Thank you, thank you ,thank you." I say running up to Nicole and giving her a bear hug.

"No problem" she said squeezing back. My hair starts at the top as a dark violet-ish purple and fades down into a sky blue.  I go to carter and give him a hug.

"I love it" I said smiling.

"Now , for that piercing" I said walking up to Nicole.

"Ughhh. Ryder I still don't think you should get that piercing." Carter said frustrated.

"Well too late I'm getting it" I said

"I like your name. It's sick." Nicole said.

"Why, thank you" I say . Carter , Nicole and I let out a short laugh. Nicole leads us to the curtains that we saw her go in earlier. It was like a tattoo and piercing parlor. She leads me up to a buff man with tattoos everywhere who happens to be eating a hoagie.

He looks up at Nicole Carter and I, and takes another bite out of his sandwich.

"Butch , this is Ryder and Carter. Ryder would like to get a piercing. " Nicole says. Butch puts his sandwich down and stands up slowly and intimidatingly which is making me want to piss my pants. He then puts his hand out to me and I flinch and turn away saying  'please don't hurt me'. I look down in his hand and realized that he wanted me to shake it. So I did and carter releases a cackle.

"You got so scared. You looked so scared" carter lets out still laughing. Butch looks to carter with a murderous look Which makes carter look like HE'S going to piss his pants. He then grabs me by my arms and carries me to the chair/bed you would find at a doctors or dentist office and sits me down. He sits himself down in a chair next to it.

"What would you like" he said starting to clean a needle.
